A/N: It's been a while, I know. But this chapter was the only thing I could think of so I hope you guys enjoyed it. Read and review and I'll see what I can do for the next chapter. No promises though, not with how my mind works.


The two days leading up to the announcement of Kagome's mating to Sesshomaru Kagome spent training. Shippo and the others would always find her in the dojo from sun up to sun down. She only stopped long enough to eat, then she'd go right back to it. Sesshomaru sighed as he watched his mate train from the doorway of the dojo.

'Even if she wants Shippo and Rin to rule the East, they are still too young.'

Sesshomaru thought as Kagome continued her training.

'Then have Sai take control until the kit comes of age.'

Sesshomaru's beast said and he had to admit, that was a really good idea. Now he just had to tell Kagome.

"I believe you've trained enough."

Sesshomaru said pushing off from the doorway and walking into the dojo. Kagome stopped and turned to look at him.

"I want to be sure I can kill her."

She said as she sheathed her sword and Sesshomaru wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close.

"You will. I have something to tell you."

Sesshomaru said and felt Kagome relax in his grip and knew she was listening to him.

"Although I agree to having Shippo and Rin rule over the East, they are still too young. So I suggest allowing my cousin Sai to take over until Shippo comes of proper age."

Sesshomaru said and waited for Kagome's response. She was quiet for a while and for a moment Sesshomaru thought she was upset until he saw her smile as she turned in his arms to face him.

"That's probably a really good idea. Send those who wouldn't mind moving to live in the villages around the Eastern Palace as well as inside the Palace to serve Sai and them. Be sure they know I'm the true heir, but Sai is taking over until my son and daughter come of age to rule."

Kagome said and Sesshomaru couldn't help but smile down at his mate.

"Come, you should rest. The announcement will be tomorrow and you will need your rest."

Sesshomaru said as he led Kagome back towards their chambers. Kagome stopped them infront of their room and kissed him before slipping off saying something about the hot springs. Sesshomaru shook his head at her before walking into their chambers and preparing for bed.


Kagome sighed as she let the hot water of the springs work to loosen her muscles. She'd been training practically non-stop to be ready for tomorrow. She would get her revenge on Lady Kimi for what she did to her people and her family. She would make her admit to the Taiyoukai present and the others what she did. Kagome was well aware that she probably could kill Lady Kimi and there not be a war considering she'd snuck in and murdered the ruling Lord and Lady of the East out of jealousy as well as those living in the palace. But, there was the slight chance that Lady Kimi would deny having done any of that and they don't really have any solid proof she did it except for Kagome's dream that told her who had. So, she was going to get her revenge and make that bitch admit what she'd done, then she was going to kill her.

"Kaa-san, you should get out before you turn into a prune."

Kagome heard Rin's voice and laughed at the little thirteen year old. Her and Shippo had grown so much it was hard to believe. Rin wasn't a little girl anymore that clung to Sesshomaru and had to run from a fight and seek protection. She was now a young lady that could hold her own in battle and Kagome took extreme pride in knowing she had a part in that.

"Alright sweetie. Don't fall asleep in here again, we wouldn't want Sesshomaru to get mad."

Kagome said to Rin as she got out and wrapped a towel around her body.

"Okay kaa-san. Night!"

Rin said and Kagome smiled at her before leaving and heading for her and Sesshomaru's room. She slid the door open and shut it silently behind her before going over to her drawers to find some p.j's when she felt arms wrap around her from behind.

"Sessho-"

Kagome was cut off when he'd tilted her head back and slanted his lips across hers. She could smell his arousal and it made hers spike to match it. Kagome moaned silently when she felt his lips trail feather light kisses down her jaw to her mating mark. She shivered as she felt his fangs graze the sensitive skin there before he moved to her shoulder. She felt his hands push her towel down her body as his mouth ravaged her naked skin. When she felt his hands slide softly across her stomach and headed lower she turned to looked at him. Kagome smiled up at Sesshomaru when she saw his eyes were rimmed in red. She took a step forward, closing the already small gap between their bodies, and wrapped her arms around his neck as she brought his head down into a heated kiss. She was glad that Sesshomaru preferred to only sleep in his hakamas, though right now, they needed to go. Kagome jumped and wrapped her legs around Sesshomaru's waist and he caught her easily. She heard him groan when she trailed kisses down to his neck and nipped lightly. She pulled back to stare up into his eyes that reflected her own need and whispered a single word.

"Bed."


Sesshomaru groaned as Kagome nipped his neck lightly and tightened his grip on her legs just slightly. She pulled back and stared up into his eyes and he saw her eyes reflected his own before she whispered the one word that sent him over the edge.

"Bed."

In the blink of an eye he had her on the bed beneath him, his hakamas having been abandoned and he was thrusting deep inside of her. She cried out and he felt her claws dig into his shoulders, but he kept his pace. He felt her start to match his thrusts with ones of her own and sped up making her cry out again. Sesshomaru hitched up one of her legs for a better angle before thrusting into her again. She threw her head back and moaned loudly making Sesshomaru growl deep in his throat at the sounds only he could make his mate make.

"F..faster…"

Kagome said breathlessly as she met his gaze. Her eyes were rimmed in red, just like his and he smirked down at her before speeding up to inhuman speeds and thrusting back into her. Kagome's eyes widened and she screamed out, but that only made Sesshomaru go faster. She felt her wrap her legs around his waist before wrapping her arms around his neck and pull herself into a sitting position in his lap. He wrapped his arms around her back and held her close and he thrust up into her. He rather enjoyed this new position. He moved and kissed her neck making her shiver in his arms as his teeth grazed the sensitive skin around his mark on her. He flicked his tongue over it and felt her walls tighten around him as her back arched into his chest. He smirked against her skin, she was in for quite a long night.
